alpha2 Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 I will second what Hildebrand said. I've done a few revolver holsters from that book. Quote So much leather...so little time.
Members chrisash Posted October 2, 2019 Members Report Posted October 2, 2019 JLS Whilst i have not tried this software, it may be the thing you are looking for with a free trial and very low price Its a 2D drawing and cad package which will accept both PDF and PSD files and also export both types so you can simply copy your sketch data into this software and export in many formats Most 2D cad type software is very easy to make basic drawings like most leather designs https://www.nchsoftware.com/drawpad/index.html?kw=simple 2d drawing software&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp_aEiuD95AIVUtHeCh1cfQ4lEAMYASAAEgLi0fD_BwE Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted October 2, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted October 2, 2019 You shootin' a little wide --- that OTHER thread was about software, and people seemed more intent on killing time than solving issues, so I'm over and on to other things. Don't see any "cad" in that one, though. Looks more like downsized Illustrator - what with .svg files n such. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

NOT for the first time, I got a message from a left-handed feller who couldn't "flip" the pattern (in the computer) because it wouldn't import into Corel software. Honestly, I know nothing about Corel beyond how to spell it I didn't put a "lefty" version in the patterns because I figgered they'd be some confusion over which was which .. folks cutting out the wrong parts (probably ME), etc. Probably better to keep the righty and the lefty separate, doncha think? Commander_P0_L.pdf Okay, maybe try this one out. It just now occurs to me, I don't think I've actually made this one for the Colt commander for a left handed draw! "L" is for Left, so no trouble accidentally overwriting the righy version ... Many Many years ago a yahoo at a factory I'd just hired onto tried the old "left handed wrench" gag. I looked at the wrench he had , flipped it over, and told him he already had a left handed wrench he was just holding it wrong side up. Which pattern would you suggest for a pancake holster that would work okay with either a S&W Model 59, the first version, or a standard milspec 1911 ? Quote

It resembles a Milt sparks but I don't think it infringes anything. Let me know if you think it might. I'll be posting the pattern sometime in the near future, if I can remember where I put it. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 29, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted November 29, 2019 Bump this old post (from page 5).... still good stuff. HATE to seee ANYBODY pay money for an avenger holster pattern when they got a usable 'pancake' pattern already. ______________________________ Already have a pancake style holster pattern you like?

Members Tmccue3 Posted December 1, 2019 Members Report Posted December 1, 2019 Hi all, I'm currently looking for the Alaskan chest rig pattern for a Taurus M65 4 inch barrel, I can't find it anywhere. If anyone can point me in the right direction that will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted December 2, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 2, 2019 SNIKEYS! Just saw a video (well, i admit I didint watch the hole thing - and aint gonna) where ya spend HALF AN HOUR somebody show ya how to make a MAG POUCH?@! That does it ... I gotta make a simple, easy ta use PDF show ya how to make these very simple things. I promise I won't use up half an hour of your time - let ya git ta 'craftin' stuff In the works shortly.... but keep in mind: Step 1: When ya measure.. use a LOADED magazine. Seriously, how many folks are buying mag pouches to carry around EMPTY mags ( ) Step 2: When ya start to think about layout, consider keeping mag models of similar size grouped together. What I mean is, if you're making them more than once, then a guy might have a die made. So, try to think ahead just a tad and plan so that ONE set of dies cuts parts for several mags (not to be confused with those people who have ONE holster pattern they use for every model - be smart).
